Question

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I have treated patients with severe axillary hyperhidrosis in the teenage years with parental consent and it has helped those patients. Newer techniques also allow for a safer and more effective delivery of the procedure.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

I have treated patients as young as 14 years old and have had very happy and appreciative patients!  Let us know if we can help in any way.

I am a leading expert on Miradry and have co-authored a book on the subject. Provided you pass a medical exam and are a candidate, you can safely undergo Miradry. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Joshua L. Fox, MD · Answer

MiraDry is approved for patients 18 years of age and older. That doesn't necessarily mean that miraDry would be unsafe in teenagers younger than 18, but that it has not been studied in that age group.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

miraDry is FDA approved for those above the age of 18 but is done for younger patients. There are no described untoward side effects from miraDry in the young - example - breast development, etc. The treatment is 'skin deep' and does not affect underlying structures.
